The Diary of a Nobody
·
George Grossmith Weedon Grossmith

JULY
4.—
Lupin’s
rooms
looked
very
nice;
but
the
dinner
was,
I
thought,
a
little
too
grand,
especially
as
he
commenced
with
champagne
straight
off.
I
also
think
Lupin
might
have
told
us
that
he
and
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Murray
Posh
and
Miss
Posh
were
going
to
put
on
full
evening
dress.
Knowing
that
the
dinner
was
only
for
us
six,
we
never
dreamed
it
would
be
a
full
dress
affair.
I
had
no
appetite.
It
was
quite
twenty
minutes
past
eight
before
we
sat
down
to
dinner.
At
six
I
could
have
eaten
a
hearty
meal.
I
had
a
bit
of
bread-and-butter
at
that
hour,
feeling
famished,
and
I
expect
that
partly
spoiled
my
appetite.
We
were
introduced
to
Miss
Posh,
whom
Lupin
called
“Lillie
Girl,”
as
if
he
had
known
her
all
his
life.
She
was
very
tall,
rather
plain,
and
I
thought
she
was
a
little
painted
round
the
eyes.
I
hope
I
am
wrong;
but
she
had
such
fair
hair,
and
yet
her
eyebrows
were
black.
She
looked
about
thirty.
I
did
not
like
the
way
she
kept
giggling
and
giving
Lupin
smacks
and
pinching
him.
Then
her
laugh
was
a
sort
of
a
scream
that
went
right
through
my
ears,
all
the
more
irritating
because
there
was
nothing
to
laugh
at.
In
fact,
Carrie
and
I
were
not
at
all
prepossessed
with
her.
They
all
smoked
cigarettes
after
dinner,
including
Miss
Posh,
who
startled
Carrie
by
saying:
“Don’t
you
smoke,
dear?”
I
answered
for
Carrie,
and
said:
“Mrs.
Charles
Pooter
has
not
arrived
at
it
yet,”
whereupon
Miss
Posh
gave
one
of
her
piercing
laughs
again.
